lord of all days, Rachel talking "alumina" - will take me 20 mins to find out what

[UTUSN]

I'm sure she will get to what I want to know about (NUNES, DRUMPF, whatever) toute suite

[GP6971]

1. I know

it's frustrating at times.

[HipChick]

2. She makes you think...

Lord knows....Faux makes TV watching a passive event...

[UTUSN]

3. No, look: We on our side already *think*. We need fast-forward *information*.

[Lucinda]

16. We aren't the only ones watching Rachel these days.

It's good for her to lay it out for those who aren't political junkies...

[GP6971]

4. For me it's more like

a snooze event. I tend to tune out their crap if I even ever go there. Which is really rare.

[LakeArenal]

5. I thought I was the only one....

It's a little like reading a Dicken's novel. Interesting, masterful even.... But come on already.

[Phoenix61]

6. I love Rachel

I know it can be frustrating sometimes but I have learned so much from watching her show.

[OliverQ]

7. It took her all of 2 minutes to get to the Russia stuff

The Alumina stuff was about another Russian Oligarch, the one who paid Manafort $10 million a year to help push Putin interests in the US.

[Doreen]

8. It's not boring to me because I learn something.

I like some people do not know everything about everything so I like to learn and maybe some day I will know everything about everything. I like the little lessons that she gives.

9. (me too). . .. n/t

[Dem2]

10. I like that she will run what she was going to run, usually no matter what panic is happening

Good on her. Fuck the internet generation's inability to absorb information. Trump anybody? Sheesh.

[UTUSN]

11. Multiple replies:

1) She doesn't "bore" me.

2) I don't have a short attention span. (I twiddle my thumbs till she gets to the point.)

3) As I said above, it's not her "making us think" I'm asking her for, it's "fast forward information."

12. When I get to watch it

I remind myself when I get annoyed at the set up... not everybody knows all this stuff and she takes the time to illustrate why the information she's about to give us matters. I am willing to be refreshed while others may be able to "get it" only with this type of intro. She's thorough and does her homework.

[UTUSN]

13. 2na, you are always the understanding one, voice of reason. Thanks for your fellowship.

[2naSalit]

15. Gee, thanks...

but I can't always claim to be the stable one!

[we can do it]

14. That's one reason I love her show.

She is a great teacher.

[2naSalit]

17. That is her style...

she's very intelligent and I think she has compassion for those who don't get things as quickly or as deeply as she does, therefore she's gracious to explain why something is important enough for her to tell us about it. It's what I was attracted to when I first saw her show in the laundr-o-mat.

I wasn't too thrilled with her headline during the campaign season but I think she did it mostly out of self preservation. At least she's trying to help us see what's destroying the world.
